There is heavy traffic and delays in several places towards the capital. Currently, the longest queues are in Porsgrunn, according to the Swedish Road Administration. There is heavy traffic at Telemarksporten in Porsgrunn on Sunday afternoon.
Do you have photos, video or are you on site? The public holiday is over, which means more cars and more traffic on the roads. - On the E18 at Moheim towards Langangen there is a 20-minute delay in the northbound direction, writes Vegtrafikksentralen south of X at 16:00 on Sunday.
There is also a seven-minute delay in the southbound direction at Langangen and heavy traffic at Kjørholt in Porsgrunn. In general, it is slower on the E18, especially in the northbound direction. There are also some delays southbound due to the road work at Langangen, says traffic operator Marita Bakkebø to NRK.
A new road is being built at Langangen, this often leads to queues in Porsgrunn. It also seems that many will take the ferry to get home on Sunday afternoon. An NRK tipster says that a ferry drove away from them and they probably have to stand over another one because of all the motorists who are going from Moss to Horten.
Many of the motorists on the E18 in the northbound direction are probably going to the capital. Arvid Wahlstrøm, who is a traffic operator, says that they expect heavy traffic towards Oslo on Sunday afternoon and evening. - There are probably quite a few who are on their way home from their holidays, he says.
Many come from Southern Norway, and these probably have to queue on the E18 due to work under a bridge over the E18 at Fornebu. One lane is closed, and traffic is slow at the site. Work is underway on the E18 towards Oslo, which is causing queues.
On the E6 towards the city there is also a good deal of traffic, says Wahlstrøm. This applies in both northbound and southbound directions. - But so far there is little traffic, no delays and a good distance between the cars.
This poll does not show what the population thinks about the question. The result shows what those who have chosen to vote themselves think, and the vote does not have a committee that makes it representative of everyone who lives in the country.
